starting this so we have a proper thread for one of the GOAT record labels. my knowledge is limited to compilations and retrospective sets so yes i'm looking to get schooled.
i'll start it off with taana gardner favorite, "no frills" 1981:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdYSmVuc3mQ

"Heat You Up (Melt You Down)", "Heartbeat" and the Arthur Russell tracks are my all-time West End picks, but there's also "Do It To The Music", "I Was Born This Way", "Don't Make Me Wait", "Sessomatto" which are top tier. And I haven't heard everything - maybe a good time to rectify that.

the bombers records are great. as is michele, magic love lp, which gets love over on the boogie thread.
